Benjamin S. Bloom: His Life, His Works, and His Legacy

Even today,
more than 40 years later, there are few educators in the United States
who are unable to recite the litany of knowledge, comprehension, application,
analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.. ~ Lorin Anderson, "Benjamin
S. Bloom: HIs Life, His Works, and His Legacy"

Bloom suggested
that the ability of enviornmental factors to influence change in human
characteristics decreases as the characteristics become more stable. ~
Lorin Anderson, "Benjamin S. Bloom: HIs Life, His Works, and His
Legacy"

The challenge
for teachers . . . is to find the needed extra time [to help struggling
students], while at the same time, making better use of the time that
is currently available. ~ Lorin Anderson, "Benjamin S. Bloom: HIs
Life, His Works, and His Legacy"

There is a
"window of opportunity" in which powerful environmental interventions
are most likely to be successful. ~ Lorin Anderson, "Benjamin S.
Bloom: HIs Life, His Works, and His Legacy"

Talent is
not something to be found in the few; it is to be developed in the many.
